From the New York Times Learning Network:
In these exercises, which we ordinarily post weekly to help students learn vocabulary and practice reading comprehension, we choose an interesting Times article and drop out certain words or phrases from it, then invite students to fill in the blanks — either from their imaginations, or by choosing from a scrambled list of words and phrases that appear at the bottom of the post.
To commemorate the fact that the anniversary of D-Day is June 6, today’s fill-in is based on the front-page New York Times article from 1944 about the Normandy invasion, “Hitler’s Sea Wall Is Breached, Invaders Fighting Way Inland; New Allied Landings Are Made.”

About Me
- Alexandra
- A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.
